LilyPad Arduino USB - ATmega32U4 Board
DEV-12049 ROHS
7
DESCRIPTION FEATURES DOCUMENTS
This is the LilyPad Arduino USB board, controlled by an ATmega32U4 with the
Arduino bootloader. It has a built in power supply socket and an on/off switch
with the only extra piece of hardware you need to program the LilyPad USB is a
micro-USB cable, since the new IC has built-in USB support. Any of our LiPo
batteries can be plugged right into the JST socket to provide you with easy, on-
the-go power. That LiPo battery is even rechargeable through the board, no
more special external LiPo chargers required!
Just like the LilyPad Simple, this board operates at 3.3V and features a JST
socket so you can directly connect a Li-Po battery for power and an on-board
power switch so you can turn it off when you’re not feeling particularly blinky.
The LilyPad Arduino USB was designed to streamline your next sewable project
by keeping things simple and giving you more room to work while eliminating the
need to sew a power supply.
LilyPad is a wearable e-textile technology developed by Leah Buechley and
cooperatively designed by Leah and SparkFun. Each LilyPad was creatively
designed to have large connecting pads to allow them to be sewn into clothing.
Various input, output, power, and sensor boards are available. They’re even
washable!
Note: A portion of this sale is given back to Dr. Leah Buechley for continued
development and education of e-textiles and also to Arduino LLC to help fund
continued development of new tools and new IDE features.

My students LOVE using the LilyPad Arduino USB - Atmega32U4 Bd!!!
about 3 years ago by Member #91127 verified purchaser
I have tried to grow the number of participants in a middle school coding club for about 2 years, yet the
numbers remained less than 8 students. After introducing the LilypPad to 21 middle school students the first
Saturday morning in January 2015 at a workshop, the word got out to friends and parents about the fun and
ease of learning, and WoW! Now, I am introducing middle school students to programming via the LilyPad
Arduino every week. I have had to double the size of orders placed for LilyPad compatible components (LEDs,
buzzers, temperature..). According to the students, “It’s so cool and easy to learn!” One student entered a
science fair (Greene Scholars Program, San Jose) and changed her science project the week before the fair
after learning how to program the arduino.
The LilyPad is a great tool for encouraging students to learn to code!

Great board
about 2 years ago by Member #478188 verified purchaser
I love that it’s rechargeable. A snapping version of this would get 5 stars.
I soldered snaps onto mine so it is both rechargeable and easily reusable without having to re-sew the circuits
each time.
Really interesting learning how it works and how it can be used
about a year ago by Member #884182 verified purchaser
It has introduced me to a new way on thinking when designing and making activities for students.As I continue
to explore its possiblities it is exciting to see uses for students.
Fantastic board
about 7 months ago by rupl verified purchaser
I’ve gotten a number of these from SparkFun and they have all worked perfectly. Not only is the LilyPad fun
and educational, but its form factor and on-board micro USB makes it a great alternative when an Uno might be
too big or bulky for your project.
